THE sCHooSERs SHERMAN AND BRADLEY WRECKED.
The captain and crew or the schooner George
Sherman have reached the city ana report the
Sherman a total wreck on shot Point, about 10
miles from Marquette. The Alva Bradley struck
at about the same place little before the Sher-
man, and Capt Clifford thinks her crew also
escaped. The sherman left the Sault at a. M
saturday and was struck by the storm this side OF
Whitefish Point, commencing at O'Clock yester-
day morning. She got along finely with the
Bradley In company until afternoon, when the
vessels separated and soon the captain or the
Sherman found that In the thick snow storm she
was close ashore. He attempted to come about TO
clear South Point, but was driven hard on a
rocky beach. Seeing that the schooner was lost,
the crew took to the boat. While going ashore the
mainmast fell across the boat without injuring
any one, though when the shore was reached the
captain was dashed against the rocks and badly
stunned, but was pulled ashore by the Others. All
were saved
LOST IN BLENDING SNOW STORM
They struck the beach at 3:}0 p. m., and kept
wandering around in the woods until O'Clock In
the binding snow almost dead from exhaustion,
dragging the woman cook on litter. When they
reached the railroad track they tagged an ore
train bound Tor Marquette. The SHERMAN was
loaded with coal for Plckands & Co., Marquette.
Alva Bradley was coal laden and was consigned 10
the railroad company here. She went ashore be-
fore the Sherman. Captain Clifford sail she is on

hunt for them, because OF the condition OF his own
men. Nothing was seen OF their small boats. II
